Chapter 361 Canceled The Engagement
Declan didn’t take it seriously. “He ate those nasty things for your sake. It seems that he likes you very much.”
Deirdre used to be able to take this sentence as a joke, but now she only felt embarrassed.
It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She changed the subject and asked, “Mr. King, you and Kyran
have been together since childhood, haven’t you?”
“Huh? Yes and no, I’d say.” Recalling the past, Declan replied, “Because he went to Germia for a while, we were
separated. We managed to reconnect only later. What’s wrong?”
“I’m curious if he barely contacted any woman. Otherwise…”
Otherwise, why would he be interested in her?
Declan smiled. “No, you are wrong. He not only has many women around him, but he also has many suitors. After
all, girls these days like cool guys. Because Kyran doesn’t speak, he just fits in this

Declan stopped abruptly as he seemed to realize that he had talked about the wrong topic and changed to another.
“In short, he is not interested in you because he is lonely. He really likes you, so he pays attention.”
Deirdre caught the main point. “Kyran has an ex-girlfriend?”
“Yes, but it was a long time ago.”
Deirdre asked, “How did she look?”
Declan looked troubled. After a moment, he smiled and said, “Miss McKinnon, do you have to ask me this question?
If you are curious, you can talk with Kyran personally. After all, I am not interested in bringing up my friend’s
weakness again.”
Weakness?
Kyran’s ex-girlfriend was his weakness?
As Deirdre pondered, she suddenly realized that there were many stories in it.
After the meal, Deirdre and Declan went to the hospital.
On the way, Deirdre stopped upon thinking of the scene when she ran into Brendan yesterday.
“Mr. King, can you lend me some money to buy a hat and a face mask?”
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m cold. That’s why I want to buy a hat to keep warm,’ Deirdre said while forcing a smile.
“You’ll just rely on a hat and mask to keep yourself warm?” Declan raised his voice. While laughing, he stared at
Deirdre’s face. “Are you trying to avoid Brendan Brighthall?”
Deirdre’s heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale.
Declan comforted her. “Don’t worry. I don’t mean anything else. It’s just that you are in contact with Kyran.
I had to investigate your background and your past, so I could feel at ease.”
Deirdre clenched her hands tightly. “So, you’ve known about it?”
“Do you mean you are Mr. Brighthall’s wife or…”

composure. “He’s about to get married. In the eyes of others, I’m dead, not even his ex-wife.”
“Really? My investigation shows otherwise.” Declan’s words had a hidden meaning.
Deirdre raised her head. Although she couldn’t see Declan’s face, her heart skipped a beat. “W-What do you
mean?”
“Mr. Brighthall has canceled the engagement.”
Deirdre’s eyes were widely opened. “How could it be?”
“Although the media was not notified, outsiders only saw that Mr. Brighthall was seriously ill and postponed the
engagement. But, in fact, he canceled the engagement on the spot. Miss McKinnon, how much do you think it has
to do with you?”
Deirdre’s mind went blank. “I don’t know…”
“Then, Miss McKinnon, do you still like Brendan Brighthall?”
This question made Deirdre’s soft lips tremble. She suddenly bit her lower lip. “How is it possible…”
There was a trace of sullenness and unwillingness in her eyes.
